Welcome to the Huntingdon History Research Network

The mission of the Huntingdon History Research Network is to give serious students of Huntingdon County and Central Pennsylvania history a place where the results of their unpublished research projects are made available to others.

Post your questions and comments on the Forum page, and read the guidelines for Submissions if you are a researcher with information to share.

Do you have a research project you would like others to comment on or help you with? Post your topic on the Work in Progress page, along with a brief description and the questions you are still trying to answer.
